Smoked Old Fashioned
by Bath & Body Works
Smoked Old Fashioned by Bath & Body Works presents a dark, smoky woody fragrance with a warm vanilla base and subtle citrus brightness from bitter orange. The scent evolves from a bold, initially smoky opening to a softer, more intimate profile with cedar and vanilla lingering long after application. It carries a mature, boozy warmth reminiscent of whiskey barrels and campfire smoke, making it ideal for cool evenings and sophisticated settings. The projection is moderate and skin-hugging rather than bombastic, and many users note its surprising longevity—lasting well into the next day. The fragrance performs best when layered with other products in the line, particularly vanilla and whiskey-themed bath and body sprays, enhancing depth and sillage.
Pros
- +Strong, rich smokiness with depth and maturity, standing out among typical B&BW offerings
- +Good longevity for a mass-market fragrance, with noticeable wear beyond 12 hours
- +Balanced sweet and woody base that eases the intensity without diminishing character
Cons
- −Snapshots of fragrance can be polarizing—some miss the smoky aspect entirely and find it faint
- −Fragrance is not particularly bold or radiating; projection remains intimate even on skin
- −Lacks notable incense, leather, or tar notes despite some advanced comparisons to niche scents
